How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 461

Following the Leader, They Still Couldn’t Get It Right—What’s Wrong With Me, a Mere Ride-Hailing Driver, Having a Little Money?

Chapter 461: Following the Leader, They Still Couldn’t Get It Right

Just as Yang Chen arrived home and was about to get out of the car, Arnold, the chairman of LV Group, called him.

Arnold: “Haha… Mr. Yang, hello, it’s been a while since I called you. How are you?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Mr. Arnold, hello to you too. I’m fine, how about you? I heard you recently became the world’s richest man. Congratulations.”

Arnold recently became the world’s richest man with his LVMH Group shares, and he’s currently riding high.

Could it be that he’s calling to show off?

Arnold: “Haha… thank you. This title of world’s richest man is just a 虚名 (xūmíng, empty title), you’re much richer than I am.”

Yang Chen: “Where do I have money? It’s all locked up overseas and can’t be transferred back, which is quite annoying.”

Arnold: “Haha… it’s mainly because Mr. Yang’s investment projects are too large, making it difficult for anyone to accept. In a few days, we’ll have a business delegation going to your Dragon Country to discuss business, and I’ll be joining in the fun. I’d like to meet with you then. Would you be available, Mr. Yang?”

News reports did mention that many multinational corporations from various countries are forming delegations to discuss business in Dragon Country. It seems the French business delegation is also coming.

Yang Chen: “No problem, I’ve been wanting to meet Mr. Arnold for a long time.”

Arnold: “Haha… alright, then it’s settled. We’ll see you in three days.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, see you in three days.”

Time is tight; he needs to settle 沦为 (lúnwéi, to be reduced to) [his personal affairs] tomorrow.

Yang Chen quickly went to sleep, getting up early to head to the Starlight Science Research Base.

As soon as he arrived at the base entrance, Michelin Chairman Michelin called him.

Michelin will also be participating in the delegation to Dragon Country for business discussions, and he also wants to meet with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen is now the absolute controlling shareholder of Michelin Group, and he needs to talk to the chairman in person.

Although Yang Chen generally doesn’t interfere with the company’s operations and management, he needs to let the chairman, who is managing the company on his behalf, know that only by being obedient can he secure his position. If he has any ill intentions, he will definitely not have a good ending.

So, Yang Chen replied, “Welcome Mr. Michelin to Dragon Country. Mr. Arnold just invited me as well. How about I host a dinner for you and Mr. Arnold? What do you think?”

Michelin: “No problem. I’ll follow Mr. Yang’s arrangements.”

Yang Chen: “Then we’ll see you in three days.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen quickly went to the quantum laboratory.

Under Huang Guangxiu’s leadership, the paper on quantum entanglement has been written, and everyone is now checking the experimental data to ensure that not even a single punctuation mark is wrong.

Once the verification is complete, this paper can be officially published.

What do people live for?

Fame and fortune.

Huang Guangxiu is already quite old and has long achieved financial freedom. What he lacks most now is “fame.”

Therefore, he really wants to have his name included in the paper.

So, he came to test Yang Chen’s intentions.

Huang Guangxiu: “Mr. Yang, after the paper is written, how should we list the authors?”

Yang Chen: “Me, you, Professor Yang, the three of our names. But my image must be kept secret. They can only publish the text version of the information, cannot release my photos and videos.”

Huang Guangxiu was immediately so excited that his legs couldn’t help but tremble. Yang Chen not only allowed him to be listed as an author but also wanted to put his name before Professor Yang’s. What an honor!

Huang Guangxiu: “Thank you, Mr. Yang. I will never forget your great kindness. I assure you, I am yours in life and yours in death.”

Yang Chen: “Don’t be silly. If people hear that, they’ll think we have some kind of abnormal relationship.”

Huang Guangxiu: “Haha… I really didn’t expect Mr. Yang to be willing to add my name as well. This is definitely the greatest honor of my life.”

Yang Chen: “We were able to succeed in the research because your contribution was the greatest, so of course, we have to add your name. We cooperated with Professor Yang’s team for a while, and the previous results should have a part of his contribution. Therefore, we should add his name and put it in third place, which is very appropriate.”

Huang Guangxiu nodded and said, “Mr. Yang is right, they did make contributions and cannot be ignored.”

…

On the morning of August 15th, the quantum team of Starlight Technology Group announced the paper and experimental data.

Quantum researchers around the world had been looking forward to it for days and finally got to see the experimental process and data.

These researchers couldn’t wait to follow the experimental steps described in the paper and conduct their own experiments to verify the results, recording the experimental data and comparing it with the data in the paper to see if it really proved that Bell’s inequality does not hold.

American quantum expert John Clauser led his team to complete the experiment first, obtaining the exact same experimental data as in the paper.

Based on these data, the reality of quantum entanglement can be proven.

Previously, when the quantum team of Starlight Science Research Group announced the proof of quantum entanglement theory, John Clauser had expressed doubts on Twitter.

Now he has to pay for his ignorance and impulsiveness.

So, he posted another tweet expressing his current mood.

“I am very sorry. I sincerely apologize for questioning the Starlight Technology quantum team before, and I hope they won’t blame me. I have led the team to reproduce the experiment according to the steps described in their paper, which shows that quantum entanglement really exists. I sincerely congratulate them and hope they can forgive my previous rudeness. In addition, I would very much like to meet with all members of the Starlight Technology quantum team. I wonder if anyone can help me make an appointment?”

French quantum expert Alain Aspect had also questioned the Starlight Technology quantum team in a sarcastic way, and he even implied that Dragon Country people could not have researched such results.

Many Dragon Country people were holding their breath, and now they can finally vent their anger.

Before he posted the tweet, many netizens had already come to his comment section to scold him.

“The Starlight Science Research Group quantum team has published the paper, which details the experimental process and data. Go and verify its authenticity.”

“Apologize quickly. American John Clauser has already apologized for his previous questioning. You are more hateful than him; at least he didn’t explicitly say that Dragon Country people could not have researched such results, but you explicitly expressed this meaning.”

“Sorry to disappoint you, our Dragon Country people never engage in fraud. If we say we’ve researched it, then we’ve definitely researched it.

We are not like some countries’ researchers who lie repeatedly. You must apologize for your rudeness, otherwise, we Dragon Country people will ask about your ancestors every day.”

…

Alain Aspect now understands what it means that what goes around comes around.

If it were other things, he probably wouldn’t apologize.

But now it’s a major new achievement in his field of research, and he’s still thinking about being able to communicate with the Starlight Technology quantum team, so he has to apologize.

“I sincerely express my most sincere apologies to all members of the Dragon Country Starlight Science Research Group quantum team. I really shouldn’t have been arrogant and prejudiced before, and I now deeply regret my remarks at the time. In recent years, Dragon Country’s technology has indeed been progressing rapidly. Not only me, but people all over the world should change their impression of Dragon Country. If there is an opportunity, I would like to apologize to them in person to express my sincerity.”

The sound of this guy’s wishful thinking can be heard by Dragon Country people thousands of miles away.

Someone like him still wants to meet and communicate with the Starlight Technology quantum team? Dream on.

Although John Clauser and Alain Aspect were scolded by many netizens, they were not the worst. The worst was Korean quantum expert Lee Byung-ryong.

Lee Byung-ryong had also previously made remarks questioning the Starlight Science Research Group quantum team. Not only did he express doubts throughout, but he even explicitly said that the Starlight Technology Group quantum team was faking data and compared them with the scientist who claimed to have invented room-temperature superconductors, in order to belittle the Starlight Technology quantum team.

Now, quantum experts from around the world have successively published articles confirming that the contents of the Starlight Technology Group quantum team’s paper are all true, so Lee Byung-ryong has naturally been given special attention by Dragon Country netizens.

“Hurry up and apologize to all members of the Starlight Technology Group quantum team, otherwise I will scold you every day!”

“The Starlight Technology Group quantum team has published the paper and made their experimental steps and data all public. Many quantum experts from all over the world have proven the authenticity of the paper. What do you have to say now?”

“Other scientists have successfully verified the reality of quantum entanglement based on the Starlight Technology quantum team’s paper. Haven’t you verified it yet? If you have verified it, shouldn’t you apologize as soon as possible like other scientists? If you don’t apologize, I can only understand that your level is limited, and you don’t even know how to copy the homework that’s right in front of you.”

…

Lee Byung-ryong didn’t care much about those scolding words.

However, those remarks questioning his limited ability and saying that he didn’t even know how to copy the homework in front of him really hurt his self-esteem because he really failed to lead his team to successfully complete the experiment.

It’s not that the steps in the paper are unclear, nor that the experimental data is inaccurate, but that their understanding of some key issues is not in place, and they actually failed to succeed even when copying.

According to his nature, his first reaction to failing to complete the experiment was that the Starlight Technology quantum team’s paper was fake.

However, dozens of quantum teams from all over the world have issued statements saying that they have successfully proven the reality of quantum entanglement based on the Starlight Technology quantum team’s paper, so Lee Byung-ryong doesn’t dare to question it anymore. He now has strong doubts about his own and his team members’ abilities.

Why can other teams reproduce the experiment, but they can’t?

It really corresponds to those comments from Dragon Country netizens; they don’t even know how to copy the homework in front of them.

Lee Byung-ryong roared at the team members: “Why can other teams succeed, but you can’t? I give you such good treatment, is this how you repay me?”

The researchers under him were afraid to raise their heads after being yelled at, but they were very unconvinced in their hearts.

The reason why other teams can successfully complete the experiment is because their leader is capable.

The reason why they can’t do the experiment is because their leader is not good enough, right?

Lee Byung-ryong, as their leader, should bear the main responsibility, so why push the responsibility to everyone?

But they can only be secretly angry in their hearts and dare not say it.

After all, Lee Byung-ryong is the most authoritative quantum expert in Korea. If they offend him, their quantum research career will be over, unless they leave Korea and find another way out in other countries.

“Continue to do the experiment! I don’t believe that we can’t do what Dragon Country people can do! If you can’t even copy the homework well, you might as well go home and farm!” Lee Byung-ryong roared again.

The team members can only silently continue to study the Starlight Technology quantum team’s paper, hoping to be able to do the experiment after deepening their understanding.

See, it is only natural that some people cannot research results. They can’t even copy the homework, so how can they be expected to research results on their own?

I don’t know if they are too 菜 (cài, bad) or if the quantum entanglement state is too difficult, anyway, they are too funny…

…

At this time, in Beijing.

Professor Yang led his team to successfully conduct the experiment according to the Starlight Technology quantum team’s paper, and everyone was very excited.

“It really succeeded!”

“Alas… we started from the same point, but they can overcome so many difficult experiments and succeed so quickly. It seems they are really amazing.”

“Don’t say it. When you say that, I suddenly doubt myself. From the moment I followed Professor Yang, I felt that I was one of the top researchers in the world. Now I know that there are people beyond people, and I am just an ordinary scientific researcher.”

“Yang Chen still keeps his promise and really added Professor Yang’s name to the paper. Professor Yang, congratulations, your next Nobel Prize is already booked.”

…

Professor Yang said with a smile: “Although we didn’t succeed first, I am happy as long as our Dragon Country researchers get results. Dragon Country’s future has successors, so I can retire with peace of mind and enjoy my old age.”

Maybe this is the ideological awareness of a master. Winning or losing is not important; what is important is that Dragon Country’s future can be guaranteed.

After speaking, Professor Yang got up and left the laboratory.

Back home, he locked himself in the study and pondered.

After a long time, he picked up his phone and called Yang Chen.

Professor Yang: “Yang Chen, well done, you got results so quickly. When you said that you would get results before the start of Tsinghua University, I laughed at you for talking nonsense. Now I know how superficial I am. It’s still my personal ability that limits my imagination.”

Yang Chen: “Professor Yang is too polite, I just happen to be more talented in this area.”

Professor Yang: “According to our agreement, you won. I will not help my wife’s niece enter Tsinghua University, don’t worry.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… what’s there to win or lose? We are all working hard for the progress of Dragon Country. It’s good that Professor Yang can remember our agreement.”

Professor Yang: “Haha… you kid are really a good young man. Not only are you excellent in all aspects, but your ideological awareness is also very high. So, are you going to apply for the Nobel Prize?”

Yang Chen: “Yes, this will be the first truly scientific Nobel Prize belonging to our Dragon Country, we must apply!”

Professor Yang: “Haha… okay, I will recommend you. I’m benefiting from it; with this Nobel Prize, I can achieve fame and retire formally.”

The next day, the Nobel Committee released an announcement.

“We have received the application from the Dragon Country Starlight Technology quantum team to participate in this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics competition and have accepted the application. We are currently reviewing the scientific research results. Let us look forward to the review results in October to see who will win this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics.”

After the news spread to the country, the Dragon Country people were very excited.

Netizens flocked to the relevant news and topic comment areas to express their excitement.

“It is said that the Nobel Prize has always reserved a trophy for quantum entanglement. As long as it is finally proven that the scientific research results of the Starlight Technology quantum team are accurate, this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics will definitely be given to them.”

“This is the first truly scientific Nobel Prize belonging to our Dragon Country, and its gold content and significance are unparalleled.”

“I hope the country can give Starlight Technology Group more policy support and must ensure that they can concentrate on scientific research. With the rapid development of national technology, every Dragon Country child should be happy. I am now waiting for the Starlight Technology quantum team to research point-to-point teleportation equipment, so that we can teleport to any city we want to go to in the future.”

“What teleportation and fatalism are beyond my understanding. But this research result is of great significance to me because I know that in another time and space, I am with her. She is my regret in this life, and I hope we can be happy in that time and space.”

…

This is the charm of technology, bringing people a positive and optimistic attitude.

On the other side, Lee Byung-ryong led his team and tried more than a dozen times but still failed to complete the experiment.

As everyone knows, Korean people are born with a mysterious self-confidence.

Lee Byung-ryong, as an authoritative quantum expert in Korea, is usually accustomed to hearing all kinds of flattery.

Therefore, he felt that there must be something wrong with the experimental steps and data of the Starlight Technology quantum team, not that their abilities were problematic.

So, Lee Byung-ryong’s team issued an announcement to expose the Starlight Technology quantum team’s paper for fraud.

They will prepare their own papers and experimental data as soon as possible and publish them as soon as possible.

This guy is going further and further down the road to social death, and there is no way to retreat.
